Just gave it a brief listen. First impressions are that there are some classic PVD parts in almost all the tracks ie pure melodic classic trance elements. The album definitely could have used less vocals as some of the songs are made worse by the vocals. That being said, lost in berlin is wonderful and beyond surprising to me. I am going to eagerly await some of the latter single releases with special mixes as I think 3-4 of those tracks with different mixes could be real killers. So far my favorite tracks are Symmetries, Dae Yor, I dont deserve you, the ocean, and lost in berlin. But once again I am a little disappointed in that the album has a little too much pop infusion in it. He usually slows down tracks on albums in general but this one could have been much better had he used some of the live mixes on the album as opposed to the album mixes. Definitely not Seven Ways but worth listening to. |

It's all Verano. Not the album. |

Damn, it was taken down. Hopefully someone will post something on youtube soon. It was probably posted on accident it seems like. |

Correct, the whole album was posted on accident. I was wondering why he would do that but not release any official live sets |

One of his biggest mistakes is that he never releases live sets or uses live sets on his radio show etc. By far his greatest strength currently is still his mixing live to an audience and unless you go to one of his shows you would never realize that. |

I couldn't have said it better. I am sure area dropped his vonyc sessions because of how weak they were. The only vonyc session I know that had a live set was session # 58. That's pathetic. I think he was holding back releases for anticipation of his new album but now that the album is nearly 2 years in the making, I wonder if he will go back. |

| Why "Heart Stops Beating" (Featuring Sarah Howells) was named "love-ammunition-feat-michelle" in the filename of the streaming source? |

The vocals on "The Ocean" are by Kate Walsh's "Nite Time". George Acosta made a track with the same sample pack

not sure either, but by far this is the worst song of the album |

| I'm really digging the new album. Stand outs for me include "Lost in Berlin", "Symmetries", "The Ocean", "Dae Yor", and "The Sun After Heartbreak". The album versions of "Eternity" and "If You Want My Love" are total snoozefest. I hope "All the stars/Music rescues me" and that male vocal "PvD ft. Kyau & Albert - ID" are released too. |
